Watching Aprils numbers come in from VGC was like we were all watching a train wreck about to happen in slow motion. Each week most of us said "No way XB1 is that close to PS4 due to the fact PS4 beat XB1 in March, and now XB1 cost more and has no Titanfall" Yet each week the numbers kept showing it closer or even XB1 ahead (unadajusted).
Its sad that BenV with a simple anecdote has a higher degree of accuracity. Analysis, applying logic to data. VGC had data this week, we user tried to apply logic to help, to no avail.
